At the College of Pharmacy, a Committee on Quality Assurance was created to support the grassroots implementation of QA initiatives and to regularly review and update QA mechanisms. This committee works collaboratively with other college-level bodies, including the Performance Management Team, Committee on Curriculum, Committee on Learning, Teaching, and Mentoring, Committee on Research, Committee on Continuing Education and Extension Services, and the Committee on Institutional Linkages and International Relations. Focal persons were given official appointments in the areas of Academic QA, Laboratory and Research QA, and QMS, as part of the institution’s thrust towards continuous quality improvement.
A variety of collective evaluation procedures are in place to generate data that inform process improvements. These include the Office Performance Commitment and Review (OPCR), Performance-Based Bonus Evaluation, Strategic Planning, iAADS, ISO Risks and Opportunities Assessment (ROA), and Client Satisfaction Surveys (CSS). Non-teaching personnel are evaluated through the Individual Performance Commitment and Review (IPCR), while academic staff undergo evaluation via the Student Evaluation of Teachers (SET).
The degree program offerings of the College undergo regular curricular formative and summative evaluations, involving stakeholders such as alumni, employers, and students. These evaluations incorporate QA indicators such as student progression, drop-out and graduation rates, licensure examination results, graduate employability, employer satisfaction, recognition by governmental and non-governmental organizations, and the strength of local and international linkages. System improvements are analyzed through root cause analysis, and are addressed through corrective and preventive actions for further evaluation of intervention effectiveness.
